A friend of mine and me had all the bullet making equipment. I bought it cheap. Great equipment. We could make TMJ, round nose, hollow point, or solids. To be profitable, you would have to make a lot, and I do mean a lot, of bullets. You are also going to have to direct sale to the public. You involve middle men, your profit evaporated. There is no shortage of lead or Copper.During this COVID shut down, I have time on my hands and I’m looking into starting a bullet manufacturing business.
First, please don’t go into the typical, ‘it’s a tough business, don’t do it blah blah blah’. It’s not a constructive line of dialogue because every successful business is tough.
Start up cost is NOT an issue. I’m looking at starting with something like Waterburyfarrel machines (website says 240 bullets per minute).

Where does one find employees who are familiar with running, maintaining, and operating these machines?
How easy or difficult is it nowadays to find the supplies like lead and copper to manufacture the bullets? I’m guessing this is the main impediment right now.
Anyone have experience with these machines?
Anyone have resources about the business they would care to share?
I’m in the exploration phase.
We got an offer we couldnt refuse for the equipment and sold it.
If you want to turn a better profit, hook up with a direct importer and import you a couple hundred thousand dollars of bullets at a time from South America. You can buy them cheaper than you can make them unless you scale up massive.
